Florida ** Sea World ** 2nd time!!!

Well, yes.... this is our second day. If you purchase one day, you get a second one FREE!!! The Cowart Clan was all over that deal!!! So today we had to see Shamu and the Clyde and Seamore show, also it was just the 5 of us since my Dad went birding with his brother instead. Gear up for some WET family fun!! OH and it was 74 and beautiful SUNNY!!! :) Can you say perfect?????
Good morning Sea World~ The Cowarts are HERE!
We walk in and who do we see?

SHAMU!!!

That's right munchkins~ you know the drill "CHEESE!"
We checked out the manta rays again. We got to feed (for a crazy fee of course) them. They were amazing as they floated through the water!
Kinda scary to feed, because you had to put your hand UNDER them.
**THE CLYDE AND SEAMORE SHOW**

It was fun but we didn't have great seats because my roller coaster took too long! Oops!

Here was a cute manatee! They are native to Florida and Corey and I have seen both dolphins and manatees in the wild here in Florida!


A sight to behold, as you slowly ride to the top!


The Shamu Show ~

It blows you away with how large and majestic these creatures are. We enjoyed all of our snacks and lunch during the show. It was a perfect break! Rested, refreshed and full!


The size of the animals was incredible!

After the show we went and found our own Shamu's to ride! Go Shamu trainers! ;)


Grant of course wanted the little one, he is our overly cautious (scared) kiddo!


He was quite proud of himself though!


On a huge trek from one side of the park to the other, ughhhhhhhh............
The boys are getting heavy to push!


Stopping some poor unexpecting stranger to take our picture! :)

Man, I LOVE those Cowart boys! All 4 of them!


Here we are in the Children Play area!

Here is Gabe on a Dolphin (of course- his new fave animal!)

Grant on a jelly fish! From Nemo he is sure! :)

Gavin on the scary angler fish * from Nemo* hmm..... :)
"Look mom, no hands!"

Gabriel on HIS dolphin, since he is NOW obsessed with dolphins and wants to be a dolphin trainer!

Grant on the jelly fish *from Finding Nemo! ;)

Karen on the Walrus* not from Nemo to my boys' dislike! :)


Corey on the Shark *BRUCE* from Nemo :)

We found Dolly.... She was much more of a hit than SHAMU!

Well, the boys' favorite thing about our whole trip was the DOLPHINS!! On the first day we watched the dolphin show, then fed and pet them. It truly was amazing and breath-taking. What is NOT to love about dolphins? They were playful, liked to be fed, pet and CUTE.

So here we got to meet DOLLY THE DOLPHIN. My boys loved on her for about 5 minutes. Thank goodness for NO LINES. High fives, kisses and hugs were flying around like crazy!

After the Shamu Show the boys were mesmorized and couldn't wait to get a picture with "Shamu"

At the end of our day! Good bye Sea World!

What an amazing place!! What a perfect day, WARM and sunny with those that I love the most!
